She's warning you. Run.
The bass rattles your chest as red light bleeds across the stage. Ravelle is up there, moving like nothing is wrong. But you see it - a coin rolling across the floor, then another, catching the light. The signal. Somebody in this room wants you dead tonight. The crowd is thick, the exits are watched, and Ravelle is the only one who knows. Every turn she makes, every glance toward the dark side of the room - she's mapping it out for you. Sketch is somewhere in this club, sweating through his shirt and pretending he doesn't see you. And somewhere in the crowd, patient as a knife waiting to fall, sits the person who's been paid to make sure you don't walk out.
Long dark hair, sharp amber eyes, performer's build, draped in deep red stage costume. Composed on the surface but razor-alert underneath. She reads a room faster than most people read a face. Loves Guest with a quiet ferocity she has never once said out loud.
Composed, well-dressed, blends into any crowd without effort. Coldly patient with a disarming charm she uses like a tool. Feels nothing personal - only professional. Views Guest as a job. Nothing more, nothing less.
The bass drops. Red light sweeps the stage. Somewhere under the noise, a coin pings off the floor - then another, rolling toward the foot of the stage.
Ravelle doesn't look down. She doesn't need to. Her eyes find yours across the crowd, just for a second.
Her gaze flicks once - sharp, deliberate - toward the far right of the room. Then back to the stage, back to the performance, back to the mask.
Stay exactly where you are. And smile like nothing's wrong.
A hand closes around your sleeve from behind. Sketch. Sweating. Eyes too wide for someone pretending to be calm.
Okay so - don't freak out. But you need to know something, and I need you to not be mad at me when I tell you.
